9 months....Rock On!

Cora scooted into this new milestone month with a smile on her face and a hug for a red nosed reindeer.  She woke up this morning in good spirits and talking up a storm.  Today has been a great day as she kept all her food down, and there hasn't been any blueness of the hands or feet.  She has stayed warm all day and has been able to be active.  A few short naps here and there and she was back at playing again.  So, with this blog we chart Cora's achievements:

She can:

+ sign "milk"
+ she can respond with a no shake of the head
+ rolls front to back to front again
+ can change direction while rolling to get to an object that she wants to discover
             is starting to hip scoot in a desired direction
+ lifts head up with fully outstretched arms
+ says "mama"
+ verbalizes "ma", "ba", "na", "um", "num"
+ lets you know when you are taking to long getting her formula, or food, ready
+ grabs toys at the mid line with her hands
+ kicks toys at the mid line with her feet
+ will arch her back to be lifted up if you ask her if she wants to "come here"
+ from a laying position, can almost sit up while being held in your lap
+ standing while supported on your lap with fully outstretched legs (short 2 second periods)
+ likes to eat : organic smoothies, peas, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, strawberry - apple - banana  mix           fruit,  mixed cereal, yogurt, electrolytes (fruit flavor)
+ does not like: plain apple anything, or grape flavors
+ she can do push-ups and turn when on her stomach


Today marks a great day in Cora's journey for she made it to her 9 month old birthday.  I have faith that she will continue to reach many more.

Cora discovered her brother's Christmas  gift today
